Dawn testified before town hall meetings about the Fairness ordinance, and met with city councilmen, officeholders, and aldermen about the need for transgender inclusion in civil rights laws–an effort that proved to be successful. In 2000, for her efforts, Dawn was awarded the IFGE Trinity Award. In 2004, the Fairness Ordinance was reconsidered and passed before the newly merged Louisville Metro City Council, again with Dawn contributing to lobbying, educational, and strategic force.
